Adding and Removing Programs Programs that were already installed when you received your device are stored in ROM. You cannot remove these programs, and you never accidentally lose ROM contents. ROM programs can be updated using installation programs with the *.xip extension. You can save data to either ROM or RAM. You can install any program created for your device as long as your device has sufficient memory. The most popular place to find software for your device is on the Microsoft® Windows Mobile™ 2003 Second Edition website: www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile. Adding Programs Using Microsoft® ActiveSync® You need to install the appropriate software for your device on your computer before installing software on your device. See "Using the Microsoft® ActiveSync® Program" on page 55 for more information. 1 Determine your device and processor type so that you know which version of the software to install: a Tap the Start button and tap Settings. b On the System tab, tap About. c From the Version tab, record the processor information. 2 Download the software to your computer (or insert the CD or floppy that contains the software into your computer). You may see a single *.xip, *.exe, or *.zip file, a Setup.exe file, or several versions of files for different device types and processors. Ensure that you select the program designed for the Pocket PC and your device processor type. 3 Read any installation instructions, readme files, or documentation that comes with the program. Many programs provide special installation instructions. Adding and Removing Programs 71
